The sum of the reciprocals of the prime divisors of an odd perfect or odd primitive non-deficient number

Abstract

Write T(n) as the sum of the reciprocals of the primes which divide n. Write H(n) = Πp|np/(p-1) where the product is over the prime divisors of n. We prove new bounds for T(n) and H(n) in terms of the smallest prime factor of n, under the assumption that n is an odd perfect number. Some of the results also apply under the weaker assumption that n is odd and primitive non-deficient.
